    Rich, Royal, And Comforting: Creamy Dal Masoor Musallam Recipe

    Steeped in Awadhi tradition, dal masoor musallam is a lentil delicacy that once graced the kitchens of Nawabs. Today, this dish remains just as rich and royal, though not as popular (and that’s a real crime!). Whole masoor dal is simmered in a fragrant mix of ghee, whole spices, and creamy yoghurt to offer comfort with a touch of regal indulgence. What sets this one apart from other lentil curries is that the dal grains don’t break; rather, there’s an earthy crunch in every bite.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Prepare The Butter

Take freshly made or chilled white butter in a clean bowl. If you’re making it at home, churn malai (cream) using a hand blender or wooden whisking tool (molinillo or mathani) until the butter separates from the buttermilk. Rinse it in cold water once or twice to remove any leftover whey and ensure it’s soft and fluffy.

Description - Step 2

Add The Mishri

Add the mishri crystals to the butter. These sugar nuggets not only bring sweetness but also a lovely crunch. Use medium-sized mishri for better texture balance.

Description - Step 3

Mix And Flavour

Fold the mishri gently into the butter. If you are offering it as prasad, you can also add a small pinch of edible camphor and cardamom powder for a sacred aroma and subtle depth of flavour. Avoid overmixing—the butter should remain airy.

Description - Step 4

Garnish And Serve

Spoon the Makhan Mishri into a mitti kulhad (clay pot) or silver bowl. Garnish with fresh tulsi leaves before offering it as bhog (sacred offering). Keep the portion size small and serve chilled.
